5-3 is the hardest (non secret) level to me. Although I never got into looping because I'm not certifiably insane

Loops is where all the fun is at.

anybody done the melting costume challenge? any tips?

also what's the best golden weapon?

Long arms + trigger fingers + shovel. Hammerhead also helps with tricky spawns.

Also the best golden is clearly the golden splinter gun and laser.

Scarier face is an instant pick every time it shows up, and Steroids with bolt marrow + two crossbows/splinters is what I aim for in dailies.

The feel of being in a loop while having the crown of blood and impact wrists, and hearing enemies crash into eachother and die as soon you enter the level.

The jungle seems pointless except for getting the chicken unlock though. But not as pointless as the oasis which seems to make everything worse by gimping your weapon drops for the rest of the game

Oasis is practically mandatory to unlock Plant's B skin. Also useful for making Melting's B slightly less of a pain.

Just looped for the first time, it was on the weekly though so not an amazing feat. I find the throne a lot easier if you get a melee weapon like the shovel to destroy the big exploding shots

You can also stay in the center and bait the throne into firing the laser repeatedly

What's everybody think of hammerhead, I never take it because there's usually more immediately useful mutations but it seems like it could be really effective if used well

I only take it if I'm playing as Melting

Pick Steroids, get crossbows or splinter guns (especially 2x splinter pistols or autocrossbows) if bolt marrow, assault/gatling/hyper sluggers and/or heavy revolver/machinegun/rifle if not, and I'm ready to loop.

The current weekly is pretty cool and you can easily do splinter pistol+autocrossbow+ bolt marrow if you get a big red chest to spawn in 4-1, got to 1-2 L2 first try, guessed wrongly where a van would go and got loving wrecked
Also got to 7-3 in under 10 minutes without any skips, which is cool

i looped with rogue which was very stressful especially since all the drops were pretty bad until like 7-1 when i got a gattling slugger but i had her starting gun right until the throne room when i got something better. thank u hammerhead mutation a good way to run away from throne dogs is to run into a wall when your gattling slugger runs out of ammo and summon a portal strike.

i blew myself up with a portal strike on 1-3 tho ;-(

Her starting gun is strong and useful even into loops, with the proper mutations.

i defeated the throne having blown up all 4 generators and i teleported to throne II (??) fight on a broken stone floating in space. i was playing as yv. no idea what i did. do you have to do that ever time to loop??

also, is it a bug that sometimes when i restart i begin on 1-3?? I wouldn't want to cheat to get to the throne but, like, the heck?

Probably just you fulfilling the conditions for early Big Bandit spawn (open all chests and rad cans with minimal/no kills)

In Training posted:

As a heads up if you do early big bandit it skips you to a underwater level and then directly to 3-3 which makes it really hard because the drops you get are still on the normal scaling. I tried using that path for a while to just attempt the throne but i was unwittingly making things a pain for myself until somebody corrected me (I think it was oddium)

Only if you kill big bandit in under 10 seconds, otherwise it's 2-1

i'm not great at the game but is back muscle not good? i play robot a lot and it seems real nice with him when you're munching a lot of stuff and hitting the ammo cap

Used to up the low ammo threshold as well, resulting in more ammo drops.

you can also use that to kill big bandit so quickly that his music never stops playing :newlol:

does bolt marrow enhance splinter guns at all
i like splinter guns but the mutation just doesn't seem to make them work all that differently, seekers and regular crossbows i definitely notice though
it doesnt affect heavy crossbow much but just lol to using that janky thing

It enhances all bolt weapons. Splinters home as much as regular crossbows, heavy crossbow not as much but still significantly and even the discs veer slightly and slow down on enemies.
